October 24th: Silent Night Walk
The Silent Night Walk is a sensory deprivation experience unlike any other. Walking through the forest at night can be unsettling for some- this event will test your edges and challenge you as we hike through the forest in complete darkness.
Some participants see a phantom fog move through the trees as the light fades from the sky. Our minds play tricks on us when we aren’t able to perceive our surroundings, attempting to fill in details that disappear in the dark.
This class is held from 6PM in the Columbia River Gorge and is $100/person.
